About these results
East Innisfail does not have a PET scanner. The closest is Queensland X-Ray Westcourt, 73 km away in Westcourt. After that, the options are Cairns Hospital/Medical Imaging Department in Cairns (75 km).
Within 10 km of East Innisfail, accredited imaging covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, see everything East Innisfail has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.
To put 73 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 168 are further than East Innisfail from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.
Across Queensland, 37 practices are accredited for PET and 23 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and East Innisfail sits in one of the gaps.
The register has these accreditations running to: Queensland X-Ray Westcourt to 30 June 2027 and Cairns Hospital/Medical Imaging Department to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the two practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
